COLUMNS
For Earth Day 2018 and beyond, say no to plastic bags
I saw a lot of fantastic sights on a recent trip to Ireland. But it was only after I came home that I realized there was a common staple of life that I hadn't seen there.
Living in a world full of moral outrage
Moral outrage is the antithesis of morality. Yet it’s everywhere present in our world today and is everywhere rationalized on the basis of God and truth.
The fuel that keeps one priest going
Father Al Scott of Long Beach, California, may be 85 and retired, but his passion and energy for Jesus and the Church serve as a model for people less than half his age.
At the marketplace of culture
Attempts to evangelize online are not wrong, but the venue is not ideal.
Good deeds plant seeds of hope
A short film entitled “Tree” depicts a traffic jam in India caused by a large tree that has fallen across the middle of the road.
The shortcomings of a digital immigrant
Information technology and social media aren’t my mother tongue. I’m a digital immigrant. I wasn’t born into the world of information technology but migrated into it, piece-meal. I first lived in some foreign territories.
How the Church can welcome young families
Many people have assumed that once millennials started to grow older and have kids, a large number would return to the Church or become more actively engaged.
A woman of uncompromising faith
Preparation for the 75th anniversary of Catholic Relief Services calls to mind a truly remarkable woman whose work has informed the Catholic social tradition, particularly in the United States during the last century.
The need for apologies
When former first lady Barbara Bush died recently, memories of her good qualities abounded.
The decline in relationships
I grew up during the Great Depression of the 1930s in a home without electricity, radio, TV, any kind of telephone, much less a smart one.
For the unsung heroes: Sometimes it takes a death to reveal greatness
As a writer, I have a habit of collecting papers, always concerned that I may inadvertently lose something important.
In praise of mothers
It’s fitting that we celebrate Mother’s Day during May, a month that we also dedicate to the Blessed Virgin Mary.
How do we know what a smile really means?
Overjoyed at the arrival (finally) of springtime? Still gladdened by this year's celebration of Easter? Touched at the kind or encouraging word from someone close?
The life-changing power of joy
When you're in your 20s and 30s, you often feel invincible -- like there's so much time to make mistakes because you'll fix them tomorrow. It's easy to boast that this is the time to do whatever you want.
Abortion and Divine Mercy
In this column I want to reach out to all women, especially those who have had an abortion. Without diminishing the seriousness of the sin, I want to tell them about the Good News of the Gospel.
